Philosophy meets technology: our new Support Engineer Daniele has a wide range of interests.

In which function do you work at linkyard and how will your work look like?

My role is "Support Engineer", which means I work on support requests from our customers. At the same time, I'm involved in a few of the company's long-term projects, sometimes on the technical side, but often and gladly also as project manager/product owner.

Describe your background.

I studied Philosophy in Bachelor (in Rome) and Master (in Tübingen, DE). After that, I worked in the translation industry for about 10 years - I started as an interpreter and translator for Italian, then I trained in various "affine" areas such as SEO, machine translation, machine learning and agile methods. I was already a Product Owner and Scrum Master at my last employer. By also managing the translation team, I was able to contribute to the introduction of AI and LLM in content production and translation.

How would you describe yourself in one sentence?

Difficult... hopefully an order of characteristics is also possible... I would say inquisitive, empathetic, sensitive, humorous 

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

Spending time with my children, reading, listening to music (and occasionally playing games). I've also recently started experimenting with single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi.

Are zebras black with white stripes or white with black stripes?

Wait, I thought zebras were colorful?
